Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformly maintain the contact surface with a wall surface when a frame body is used as a picture frame, without entirely impairing a display property by leading out the internal wiring from the corner member, and by using the ring-shaped member of the leading-out part as a hanging part so that the leading-out part of the wiring is visually covered to be kept from sight. SOLUTION: A penetrating hole 2a is provided in a part of the corner part exposed between the end parts of a frame 1 connected to a corner member 2, and an opening part 21 for insertedly supporting the periphery of a plate- shaped article P so as to coincide with the cutout part 11 provided to the inner circumferential surface of the frame 1 is provided to form a communicating passage between the external part and a space surrounded by the frame 1 through the penetrating hole 2a and the cutout part 11 of the frame 1. A ring- shaped member 4 is erected to bestride the penetrating hole 2a of the corner member 2 in such a condition that it does not block the penetrating hole 2a.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a plurality (usually four) of the present invention.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a frame having a corner member useful for wiring or the like of a lighting fixture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, frames having various structures have been known. However, in recent years, a frame having a flatter appearance has been preferred in view of exhibitability. Are connected by a corner member, and a plate-like member (a back panel, a front panel,
A frame having a structure for supporting a sheet-like posted object) has been commercialized.

In this type of picture frame, it is also known to arrange a lighting device inside to improve decorativeness, or to apply this as a wall-mounted antenna or a planar speaker by using a flat shape. However, since it is necessary to bring the wiring and the like to the power supply out of the visual sense of the observer, in general, it has been devised that the rear panel is cut out and led out from the contact surface with the wall. Was.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned wiring and the like have a small thickness but generate a small gap between the contact surfaces with the wall portion, adjustment is required to arrange the wiring vertically when mounting. This is a factor that impairs the appearance. In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides, in a frame body composed of a plurality of hollow frames and a corner member connecting the ends of the frame, between the ends of the frame to which the corner members are connected. A through-hole is provided in a part of the exposed corner, and an opening is provided to insert and support the periphery of the plate-like object in accordance with the notch provided in the inner peripheral surface of the frame, and the through-hole and the notch in the frame are provided. To form a communication passage between the outside and the space surrounded by the frame. A ring-shaped member is erected in the through hole of the corner member without closing the through hole.

[0005] With the above configuration, the wiring from the inside can lead out the through hole of the corner member, so that the contact surface with the wall surface can be maintained uniformly. And, since the ring-shaped member is erected on the lead-out part, by using this as a hanging part, the lead-out part of the wiring can be visually covered and camouflaged, so exhibitability is completely impaired. There is no thing. Details will be described according to the following examples.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a corner member and a frame according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a lead-out state of wiring in the corner member according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a corner member according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an overall view of a frame using the corner member according to the embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, a plurality of hollow frames 1 (in the figure, a pair of channel-shaped frames having vertically cut end faces are illustrated. (Includes other prismatic, U-shaped, and other frames that have a space to receive members up to the outer peripheral wall)
And a hollow corner member 2 connecting the ends of the frame 1
The corner member 2 is provided with a through hole 2 a at a part of a corner exposed from an end of the frame 1, and the corner member 2 is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the frame 1. An opening 21 is provided for inserting and supporting the peripheral edge of the plate-shaped object P in conformity with the notch 11 provided, and a space surrounded by the outside and the frame 1 through the through hole 2 a and the notch 11 of the frame 1. The gist of the present invention is that a communication path of

As shown in FIG. 1, the corner member 2 of the first embodiment is a member having a substantially L-shaped appearance,
An opening 11 for inserting and mounting the corner portion of the frame is provided on the inner peripheral surface side when the frame is formed. A pair of connecting portions 23 for fitting the ends of the frame 1 are extended at both ends. In the embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 23 is provided with a wedge-shaped engaging portion 2
3a is projected.

The frame 1 is made of a light metal such as aluminum having a U-shaped or U-shaped cross section, or a hollow member formed of a hard synthetic resin or the like. A cutout portion 11 for inserting the peripheral portion of the plate-shaped object P is provided on the peripheral surface side, and an engagement hole 12 is provided on the outer peripheral surface side to be engaged with the engagement portion 23 a of the connection portion 23.

The structure of the corner member 2 will be described in detail.
The corner member 2 is a member having an L-shaped cross section opened toward the upper surface side so that the plate-like material P can be easily placed thereon. Part 11
A communication passage is formed between the outside and the space surrounded by the frame 1 through the through hole.

The through hole 2a is provided in the through hole 2a.
The ring-shaped member 4 is erected in a state in which is not closed. A hanging wire (not shown) can be attached to the ring-shaped member 4 to attach the frame to the wall surface.

According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the wiring Q derived from the space surrounded by the frame 1 can be derived from the through hole 2a of the corner member 2. At this time, it can also be guided to an external power supply or the like along a suspension line attached to the ring-shaped member 4.

The frame member composed of the corner member and the frame according to the embodiment of the present invention can be sufficiently used as a carrying frame (frame). Needless to say, the embodiment includes an embodiment in which wiring is possible.

FIG. 3 shows a corner member 2 according to a second embodiment. In this embodiment, the corner member 2 is a member having a U-shaped cross section with an inner peripheral surface opened so that the plate-like material P can be inserted, and a through hole 2a is formed at a corner portion. A communication path between the outside and the space surrounded by the frame 1 is formed through the cutout 11 of the frame 1 as in the embodiment of FIG.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a frame comprising a plurality of hollow frames and a corner member connecting the ends of the frame. By providing a through hole at a part of the corner exposed to the outside, a communication path between the outside and the space surrounded by the frame is formed through the through hole and the cutout portion of the frame, so that the wiring from the inside is formed at the corner. Since the through hole of the member can be led out, the contact surface with the wall surface can be maintained uniformly. And, since a ring-shaped member is erected on the lead-out part, by using this as a hanging part, the lead-out part of the wiring can be visually covered and camouflaged, so that exhibitability is completely impaired. Without appearance shape,
It has become possible to provide a forehead excellent in mounting operability.
